Planning for our Future
We are moving forward with planning for the South Town Center Subarea. This effort builds on the work done for the award-winning Mill Creek Town Center, previous studies, and the 2024 Comprehensive Plan.
We are developing a plan that will:
Create a thriving, walkable district that seamlessly extends the existing Town Center by integrating new housing, shops, jobs, and public gathering spaces. This expansion will enhance daily life for residents and attract new investment to Mill Creek, building on the community’s established character and vitality.
Expand housing choices and employment opportunities while strengthening the city’s tax base—ensuring Mill Creek remains a livable, resilient, and future-ready community.
Coordinate land use, transportation, and stormwater systems to support responsible, phased redevelopment that respects the environment and serves all community members.
Previous Work
The South Town Center Subarea project builds on earlier planning efforts initiated in 2019, when the area was originally known as the Mill Creek Boulevard Subarea. These initial efforts concluded in 2022 and directly informed the 2024 Comprehensive Plan update, setting the vision for a vibrant, mixed-use district south of Town Center.
